Dr. Steven Sheskier answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery

Neurologist: Get evaluated by a neurologist or a pain management doctor. Cramps can be a sign of neuropathy but may also be a sign of a different problem (electrolytes/blood salt for one). Eating bananas help if it is due to low potassium.
